Abhijeet says that actors who eat beef were invited to the inauguration of the Ram temple because of politics.
Singh Abhijit Bhattacharya in an interview recently given to Bollywood Thikana said that among all the people who went to the Ram temple, there was not a single nationalist, be it a big singer or a bhajan singer. Some are showing cooperation with Pakistan, terrorist attacks are happening, Uri attack is happening, but these people never condemn the nefarious acts of Pakistan. Many such people went to Ram temple, Ayodhya. There are many people whose wife abuses you and Hero never spoke against Pakistan. Call a beef-eater and you say that the cow is our mother.'
Singer further said that politics is a very strange thing. I will never go into politics. This is a line to proudly say that we are Hindus. India is our father's, our father's father's father's.
During the conversation, the singer also revealed that once the underworld demanded ransom money from him.
